Harry S. Truman had an approval raring of 22%

Donald Trump is a monster who has done horrible and unimaginable things to his own people. But he still has a better approval rating.

That is how I know we are in trouble. Because despite everything, there are still people who think better of him […]

In the past, I recall successfully running DistroBox and Podman with VirtualBox.

However, this setup doesn’t seem to work well on NixOS. While it’s possible to get VirtualBox working with QEMU (albeit with some difficulty), the performance hit is substantial.

I've improved the virtualization […]

Every time I see someone, claiming the voters screwed up. I want to shout:

"No, you don't know how elections work."

You understand that people vote, but you severely lack understanding of why.

I am looking into a "new" operating system that may fall outside U.S. jurisdiction.

AerynOS, formerly known as Serpent OS.

Personally, I’m glad they changed the name.
